* AdoringThePests: As usual, Linda is far too attached to the raccoons that loiter in the alley. When Bob expresses his frustrations about Big Baby Pudding Snatcher refusing to leave the crawl space, Linda defends her stating she's just looking out for her kids and it's not her fault. This causes Bob to snap.


Added DiffLines:

* RageBreakingPoint: Bob finally snaps after dealing with the rotten egg and Linda defending the raccoons hiding in the crawl space, declaring she caused all this by hiding the egg in the vent.
-->'''Linda''': She's a mom. She's looking out for her kids. It's not her fault!
-->'''Bob''': You're right Lin, IT'S ''YOUR'' FAULT!
-->'''Linda''': What?! My fault?!
-->'''Bob''': YOU PUT AN EGG IN A VENT!
-->'''Linda''': [[NeverMyFault You're just mad 'cause that's my egg in there and I won and you know it!]]
-->'''Bob''': ''No, this isn't a win! You don't get to win when you cheated!''
** This leads to Louise snapping that it's Linda's ''and'' Bob's fault because they ruined the egg hunt.

** Gene's typical laziness in eating one of the eggs but not a second to make an even seventy, even after being asked. This wouldn't have prevented Linda from hiding an egg in the vent since it wasn't the last one hidden, but it ''does'' mean the family isn't aware of a missing egg until it starts to rot.

!!Tropes for Days:



** Instead of using plastic eggs with sealed candy inside, Bob and Linda's usage of real eggs causes the stink. A fake egg, even with candy inside, wouldn't rot and keep the decomposing candy from making a stink. At worst candy would not decompose the way an egg would or cause such a stink.
* EasterEpisode: The episode revolves around a competitive Easter egg hunt going awry, leading to a missed egg going off and the family having to locate it.

*EmbarrassingBrowserHistory: When Louise points out that Bob might not want "racoons, babies, wall" in his search history, Gene is horrified to learn that search history even ''exists'', and hastily volunteers to go find the family laptop.



* ItsAllAboutMe: Bob and Linda use the egg hunt contest as an excuse to one up the other by forcing the kids to dye and find six dozen eggs in order for them to get their Easter candy. The winner's determined by the owner of the last egg the kids find, and the hunts usually take the entire day to finish.

** If Tina has gone along with her siblings plan to tell their parents they hate the ultra competitive egg hunt, the whole mess would have been avoided. Tina refuses not because she likes the hunt, but because she doesn't want to hurt her parents' feelings.
